Abstract: 
For crossed-beams electron-ion collision studies involving highly charged ions, we have developed an electron gun delivering a high-density electron beam of 2 mm O at energies up to 6.5 keV and currents up to 430 mA. In order to decrease the spread of the electron energy distribution, the electron beam space charge in the collision region with the ion beam is compensated by means of trapped ions resulting from electron impact ionization of residual gas particles. First measurements are showing good agreement of the obtained absolute cross sections for the single ionization of Xe8+ and Fe9+ ions with available experimental data. Employing a fast energy-scanning technique, energy-sharp resonance structures in the cross section for the triple ionization of Ba2+ have been resolved. From these measurements, the spread of the electron energy distribution at 800 eV can be estimated to 3.2 eV FWHM.
